Certain pragmatists like Rorty, [https://www.consolware.com/bitrix/redirect.php?goto=https://pragmatickr.com/ ํ๋ผ๊ทธ๋งํฑ ์ฌ๋กฏ] are inclined to be skeptical of knowledge that is based on a foundation of 'immediate experiences.

They also have explored areas like philosophy of religion, philosophy and ethics, science and theology. Some, such as Peirce and Royce, are epistemological relativists.
